Fluid Statics: Practice Problem & Solution

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Fluid Statics. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Equating pressures, we get $h_1 \rho_1 g = h_2 \rho_2 g$. Substituting the given values, $$h_1 \times 760 = 0.76 \times 13600$$. Solving for $h_1$, we obtain $h_1 = 13.6 \text{ m}$.
